Madison Haley scored a hat-trick and Michelle Agyemang was among five other scorers as Albion rounded off their pre-season camp in Spain with an emphatic 8-0 win over Levante.

The pace and power of the American striker, who was also on target in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against CF Alhama, was too much for Levante, while Agyemang, Fran Kirby, Kiko Seike, Maisie Symonds and Charlie Rule also found the target as Albion scored four goals in each half.

Levante started strongly, applying early pressure on the Albion defence, but they held firm and quickly found their rhythm, confidently controlling possession and dictating the tempo.

Just ten minutes in their early dominance paid off when Rule coolly slotted the ball home, setting the tone for the rest of the match. A well-delivered corner from Marisa Olislagers found the head of the Australian defender, who glanced a curling header beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.

Three minutes later Kirby scored their second following some great build-up play down the left wing. Agyemang held the ball well in a congested opposition box before picking out Kirby with a clever pass which she fired powerfully home.

Another Olislagers' corner on 20 minutes was met with a thumping header by Haley to make it 3-0 and just before the break Agyemang celebrated her return to the club by powerfully heading home Rachel McLauchlan's cross from six yards.

McLauchlan was having some game and two more crosses early in the second half were headed home by Haley, to complete her hat-trick - and a hat-trick of assists for the Scot.

Albion weren’t done and Seike pressurised the Levante defence before lifting the ball over the keeper to make it 7-0.

Seike then broke down the right before picking out Symonds, who back heeled from the near post for Albion's eighth goal.

It was a good way to end a positive week for Albion.

Dario Vidosic's thoughts...

Dario Vidosic reflects on second pre-season win in Spain. 📸 Paul Hazlewood

“I thought they were a joy to watch. We had a few little moments, which is normal. It’s been a tough training camp but I thought a lot of the football that we played was really enjoyable.

“It's a big boost of confidence. Levante are a good team. They still made it tough for us and nothing came easy. We were patient with the how we played so there will be a lot of confidence, not just from the result, but from the performance as well.

“We want to try and get as many people as possible in areas to score goals and to contribute. It's always pleasing when there's so many goals scored."
